Some bizarre ideas in there.

'The Truman Show' - how can you spin that out over a series?
'In the Heat of the Night' - 40 years too late, unless it's a period drama.

Looking forward to "Westworld" although there was a short pilot series made back in the 1970s called "Beyond Westworld" quite good it was too.

I think the Trueman show could convert easily into a TV series

1 hour a week with nothing much happening , a bit like the Prisoner hehe

I reckon a HBO 10-episode series would suit the Truman Show....not a 22-ep run from one of their wk channels though.

Heat of the Night could be set in Ferguson, Missouri!

They already turned the latter film into a TV series back in the late 80s and early 90s. I can just about remember seeing it on TV here.

The police chief was played by Carroll O'Connor. He'd previously played Archie Bunker, who was based on Alf Garnett, from the American adaptation of Til Death Us Do Part.
